[QUOTE="HMBgal, post: 726770, member: 13260"] My grandson, 11, has as his primary IEP qualification Emotional Disturbance, followed by ADHD. And he's in a therapeutic class much like you describe, with wrap around support, small class, behavioral support people, mental health person that does groups and individual and home visits, too, as well as three instructional aides and the teacher. I'm afraid he's earning his way out of that for next year because of his acting out behaviors and will probably be in a class for kids with behaviors--we'll see. He can't focus, has no friends, smart as a whip but simply cannot cope with his two general ed classes and he elopes from them frequently. He's in a small environment the rest of the time. He hates being a "retard" (oh we've discussed at length about ever using the R word), and hates being in a class with "those" kids, but also knows he needs it, although it's everyone else's fault and not his at all (so he says). The funny thing is that he has a very high IQ. He's bonded with a counselor and the office staff and administration are wonderful. They don't punish--they de-escalate, talk things out, and do restorative justice. His clinical diagnosis is ADHD/Anxiety Disorder/Disruptive Mood Dysregulation disorder. So much of all of this is anxiety. It's a beast. I hope your boy will settle in and make it work. [/QUOTE]
